Because bad things still happen. Train hard on tactics, techniques, building construction, the science of fire behavior... but be prepared as you can for when it all goes south. As Chief Jim Crawford says, "No one is coming to save us, but us!"
Look at it this way, we have health insurance even though we try to eat healthy and stay fit, we have auto insurance even though we maintain our vehicles and (hopefully) drive safely - all good practices! Training for a rapid intervention event is no different - we train in the hopes that we never have to use it, but sure glad it's there when we do.

STAY FIRED UP, and train, train, train!
